Life Lately

Damon is now a Sunbeam! We're all happy to be finished with nursery! He was a little nervous about sitting with his class and new teachers on Sunday, so he sat with Tessa during sharing time, and then went with his class for the lesson. I think he'll like Primary a lot better than nursery.

Paul fell asleep on the couch the other day, and the kids made sure he was nice and comfy for his nap. They kept adding new stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets on him. :)

Paul gave Damon an Alfalfa hairdo one day. Haha!

We got a big snowstorm on Sunday. Driving was miserable on Monday, but the kids have had so much fun with all the snow we got! They built a couple snowmen and had a snowball fight over the fence with Elijah Sunday afternoon. 

Damon and I shoveled Monday morning and had fun playing in all the fresh snow.

As soon as school got out on Monday I took the kids and Flynn sledding at Windsor Park. They loved that.

After sledding we went back to our house and Rockwell and Flynn each made a snow fort to use in their snowball fight. Rockwell thought that was about the coolest thing ever.

After Flynn went home, Rockwell added all the snow from Flynn's fort to his own to make it bigger. I looked out the window at one point and saw him talking to Erminia next door. When he came in I asked him what they were talking about and he said he had gone over to ask if she would mind if he used the snow in her front yard for his fort. I thought that was adorable that he went and asked before he took any. Later that night he said, "Mom, you know what's fun? Trying something you've never tried before, working hard at it, and accomplishing it! That's what I did today by building my first snow fort." I loved that!! He went back out and finished his fort Tuesday after school. It was a really cool fort.

He even made a snowball tunnel in the back corner. You could fill it up with snowballs, and they would come out the bottom, so you could grab and throw and then there would be another one ready at the bottom of the tunnel.

Tessa is so excited to be out of her car seat and sit in a booster!

I went in her room the other day and found her big bear praying. :)

Love my boys!
